Detailed Description

A Window represents an on-screen or off-screen drawable.

A drawable is a 2D rendering surface, typically attached to an OpenGL context. A window uses an SystemWindow implementation to manage the operating system specific handling of window and context creation.

A Window is a child of a Pipe. The task methods for all windows of a pipe are executed in the same pipe thread. All window and subsequent channel task methods are executed in the order the windows are defined on the pipe, with the exception of the swap and finish tasks, which are executed after all windows have been updated. This ensures that all windows of a given pipe swap at the same time.

The default window initialization methods initialize all windows of the same pipe with a shared context, so that OpenGL objects can be reused between them for optimal GPU memory usage. The window facilitates OpenGL object management by providing an ObjectManager for allocating and sharing OpenGL objects.

Please note that each window potentially has its own OpenGL command buffer, thus glFlush is needed to synchronize the state of OpenGL objects between windows. Therefore, Equalizer calls flush() at the end of each frame for each window.

EQ_API const GLEWContext* eq::Window::glewGetContext ( ) const

Get the GLEW context for this window.

The glew context is provided and initialized by the SystemWindow, and provides access to OpenGL extensions. This function does not follow the Equalizer naming conventions, since GLEW uses a function of this name to automatically resolve OpenGL function entry points.

Version: 1.0

Definition at line 108 of file window.h.

virtual EQ_API void eq::Window::makeCurrent ( const bool cache = true ) const

virtual

Make the window's drawable and context current.

GL drivers tend to behave sub-optimally if too many makeCurrent calls happen in a multi-threaded program. When caching is enabled, this method will only call SystemWindow::makeCurrent if it has not been done before for this window on this thread.

Version: 1.3.2

virtual EQ_API bool eq::Window::processEvent ( const Event & event )

virtual

Process a received event.

The task of this method is to update the window as necessary, and transform the event into an config event to be send to the application using Config::sendEvent(). Events which can be related to a channel (eg pointer events) are transformed into their corresponding channel event and forwarded to Channel::processEvent().

Parameters

event the received window system event.

Returns: true when the event was handled, false if not.

Version: 1.0

Implements eq::NotifierInterface.

finalvirtual

Send a window error event to the application node.

Parameters

error the error code.

Version: 1.7.1

Implements eq::NotifierInterface.

EQ_API void eq::Window::setSharedContextWindow ( const Window * sharedContextWindow )

Set the window with which this window shares the OpenGL context.

By default it is set to the first window of the pipe in the window's constructor. The shared context window is used during initialization to setup the OpenGL context and util::ObjectManager. The default implementation of configInitSystemWindow() will use this to call WindowSettings::setSharedContextWindow() using the corresponding SystemWindow.

Version: 1.0

EQ_API void eq::Window::setSystemWindow ( SystemWindow * window )

Set the OS-specific window.

The SystemWindow implements the window-system-dependent part, e.g., the drawable creation. This window forwards certain calls, e.g., swapBuffers(), to the SystemWindow. The system window has to be initialized.

Version: 1.0

EQ_API void eq::Window::startFrame ( const uint32_t frameNumber )

protected

Start a frame by unlocking all child resources.

Parameters

frameNumber the frame to start.

Version: 1.0
